    Please Help!!! Best metal blades for milwaukee sawzall for cutting up appliances

    Hey guys. I just picked up a milwaukee sawzall today for $40 with the case. Which i think i got a good deal. Anyways I want to know what the best blade for cutting things up like major appliances washing machines refrigerators radiators and from time to time some light iron. There are different size blades. Does it make a difference. I want to cut through stuff as fast as i can. Im not so patient. Speed is important. But i dont want the saw jumping all over the place by having too large of a blade. They make a ton of different lengths and metal types :
    IMPORTANT TO ME:
    LENGTH? HOW MANY TEETH? MAX CUTTING SPEED? WONT BREAK? EASY WORK WITH?

    The torch blades work good you can even cut through HMS with them I would get a few different lengths some jobs require a longer blade but sometimes the long blade is too big. Also dewalt makes a blade called fire rescue, They are kind of a demolition blade but they cut through sheet metal really good. All you can really do to keep your blades from braking is keep your guard tight against what your cutting and keep the saw straight.

    get the 14 tpi and whatever lengths you need... and also do get to ahead of yourself turn your sawzall down to half speed when cutting metal or youll burn out allot of espensive blades.

    I agree with both Andrew and Matt. I personally use the Torch 6 inch blades, works great for me.
